As my existing fence is falling down and I have saved the 3K to replace
it it's also time for a new antenna. What type of wire would be best?
My existing antenna is around the fence about 8' in the area and the
area is shaped like [ with the long side running North/South.







A 500-foot roll of #14 or #16 stranded insulated in your choice of
designer hues is available from Lowe's or Home Depot, about $25 if you
buy the whole roll.
